Russia says destroyed depot of weapons from NATO in western Ukraine

Russia's defence ministry said Wednesday its troops destroyed a depot of NATO-supplied arms in western Ukraine, after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Western allies to speed up arms deliveries to his country.

"Near the town of Zolochiv in Lviv region, high-precision long-range Kalibr missiles destroyed an ammunition depot of foreign weapons transferred to Ukraine by NATO countries, including 155-mm M777 howitzers," the ministry said in a statement.
